Want to Build a Family History Legacy Book

Monday Morning Mentions

Monday Morning Mentions is an opportunity to reflect on what has been happening at the Armchair Genealogist this past week over my morning cappuccino and give a nod to some of my peers who captured my attention in the blogging community.

Each week I’m choosing four blogs that deserve a shout out, they will be in the form of 4 categories, Internet Genealogy, Family History Writing, a New Blog and a blog that posted a great old-fashioned family recipe. OK some weeks I choose more than 4 just because it to hard to pick just one, and it's my blog so I can change the rules.

Internet Genealogy – a great genealogy or internet tip that will benefit any armchair genealogist.

Writing Family History - great advice or information on writing your family history.

This week’s mention:

This week I want to spotlight a blog that has shared a very moving personal story. This is the kind of story that will move you to tears. It is a story about Judy's journey to find the truth behind the disappearance of her grandmother, aunt and uncle. At Judy's blog Provenance, she shares her discovery in the post Evidence. We are honored that Judy has shared this story with us. I encourage you to leave her a comment and let Judy know that the discovery of her family has not only brought closure to her family but has moved a community. We will all remember Gitel, Berta and Norbert, they are no longer a number, they have come out of the shadows, that is the power of sharing a story.

New Genealogy Blog – we will tip our hat to a newcomer who impresses us right out of the box

This week’s mention:

Attics and Old Lace caught my attention this week, besides the great title, Liz is using this blog to work through her boxes of treasures that remain delinquent and unscanned. Her blog will document her journey through her treasure boxes.

Family Recipe - a blog that makes us want to eat, and offers up a great old-fashioned family recipe to share on Family Recipe Friday.

This week's mention:

Kathryn at Reflections shares some candy recipes belonging to her husband's Grandfather who owned a candy store. I love the little box we would present the candy in for customer's orders.
